Justice

Kurian Joseph, former judge of the Supreme Court, said that it is the only constitution in the world that offers protection to the lives of even foreign citizens and accords them equal opportunities. Article 14 and article 21 make no distinction between our citizens and foreigners. Rights flowing from other articles are available to our people alone, Justice Kurian said while inaugurating the two-day Second National Virtual Moot Court Competition organized by Hyderabad-based law firm, Thomas George and Associates.

The theme of the competition revolved around the civil rights of the LGBT community, with 40 teams from various law colleges all over the country registering for the competition.

It is only when we understand the spirit of our constitution that asks all of us to imbibe equality in our hearts, we can achieve a just society that registers no crime against women, that does not discriminate against its people based on their colour, creed, sex, place of birth, caste, language, religion, etc, Justice Kurian Joseph said.

This was our solemn resolve when we gave to ourselves the constitution that we secure for us, our people the Justice, liberty, and equality, he said. We have to realize that our constitutional consciousness about equality, constitutional morality that preaches us to respect individual dignity rising above the narrow considerations of caste, religion, place of birth, etc, he added.
